tiveness of Poker.
From Chicago Letter to the Cincinnati En-
Q,,irer.
Poker playing is fast becoming the fash
ionable game here, and is slowly creeping
into even church circles. The other after
noon a half dozen ladies, all church mem
bers of the highest moral type, were seated
around a table in a private parlor Their
faces were fiushed-some with excitement
and some with a tinge of conscience that
would not be entirely conquered.

she went "ten better" on flush" hand, 81
wouldn't have my mother know | would
What would she say!" And on comparing
notes it seemed as if each lady present had a
relative she was trying to dodge, as well as
her own conscience.
POKER is A MOST SEDUCTIVE
Game, and finally overcomes some of the
most scrupulous. For example, the other
evening, in fashionable homo on Michigan
avenue, an elderly lady, with two of her
daughters and their Husbands, were enter
tanning few friends. Finally the gentle
men proposed game of poker
NOW, daughters, you know | don't ap-
prove of it" expostulated the old1ady.
"Why. mamma, it's getting to be the
game" answered the daughter.
No amount of persuading could induce the
mother TO take a seat at the table. How
ever, she sat by the side of her daughter and
watched the progress of the game. As her
daughter carried off stake after stake, and
the game rose in excitement, the old lady
who prided herself as an extra whist-player
could hold out no longer. Springing up,
she exclaimed;

hand, but I will give every cent win to the

The Telephone of 1865.

Chos. r. B,diHard, IN North american Review
There is nothing new under the sun,
not even the telephone. Permit me to state
that in the year 1868 there was published in
England a book with the title of "NIico
graphia." The author was Dir. Robert
Hooke, celebrated scientist, mathema-
tician and philosopher, who was born in the
Isle of Wight i'll 1885, and educated ut Ok.
ford The work referred to contains
various philosophical descriptions of minute
bodies, made by magnifying glasses
as indicated in the title, together
with observations and Inquiries" on them.
In the preface, the learned scientist asserts
that the lowest whispers, by certain means
(Which he does not make public, may be
heard at a distance Of furlong: that he
knew n way by which it is easy to hear any
one speak through a wall three feet tbIC
and that by means of an extended e.
sound may be conveyed TO a very = u lis
lance, almost in an instant.

When darkness falls down.

When the night shades come SLOW
With their sweet. tender .rW>.
That fall DER the dead
In their white. silent ooZr.
When the flowers droop their heads
And the birds fall asleep.
And the willows bend softly
In silence to weep,
DO the phanloms come forth
From their long drcamlcS> rest
And fail into line. At

Does the sharp clang OF lnu-kot
And the lannon's deep roar
Bring the brave warriors back

DO they stand b> the parapet>.
Grass grown and still.
With their silent mouthed guns
On the brow Of the hill.
Do they touch elbow there

Who laid down their lives
In defence OF the right:

A Really Able Rat Story.

A large number of rats established
themselves in a hayloft about midway
between the floor and the top of the
hay. The owner of the premises
hearing a continuous squealing noise
in the loft. took fork and removed
the hay from the place whence the
noise proceeded, and uncovered nest
of about twenty rats. Several of them
ran and was caught by the dog, but a
bundle Of sixteen full-grown animals
remained on the spot; their tails were
plated together. something after the
fashion of "a whipcord. BY picking
up one of them the rest adhered, and
could not be shaken of. 1t was sup.
posed by persons who saw them that
in order to avoid the cold. the rat oc,
cupying the top of the pile sought a
warmer place by creeping underneath
but, not having room to draw his tail
after him, it was left sticking out, the
next rat did the same, and so on unit
all had changed their position, ant
every individual rats tail was entwin
ed into the curious knot that ther
held them together. IF they had NO
beer discovered and killed they mus
have starved, as they could not have

A Lucky Mistake.

Talking about druggists mistakes
said druggist, "I'll tell you funny
mistake l made about three years ago
A young German came into the store
one morning and said that he wanted
fifty cents worth of arsenic to feed to
some rats. sold him what suppos.
ed was the poison, and would have
thought no more of the sale if the
fellow had not come round the next
day and berated me for selling him
quinine for arsenic. / learned later
that the German, who had become
despondent over some money matters,
bought the arsenic with the intention
of committing suicide. He took the
quinine to his lodgings, put on his
grave clothes, shaved himself with a
dull razor, and then lay down upon
the bed with a teaspoonful of the al.
kaloid in his stomach. When he
woke up the next morning and found
himself alive he came to the store and
relieved himself of his bile. Three
weeks later he got good job in q
downtown clothing house, and is now
earning good salary. He comes
around about once month to tell
me that some of the mistakes drug
gists make are not so bad after all"
